It is a very normal thing in a long-term relationship to wonder if your woman really loves you. As the years go by, daily life can get busy and those things that once shouted your love for one another from the rooftops fall to the wayside and household chores, career demands, and family become the priority for her. If you are looking, however, there are still signs that you are loved by her. The following are five things that you may notice her doing if you are watching for them and they each say that she loves you.

*At the end of a long day, she will still make your dinner without a complaint, or at least much of one. This is a sacrifice of her time and energy that she is willing to make because she loves you and wants to be sure that your needs are met.

*She still does little things that you may not even notice anymore, such as spraying linen spray on your pillows, setting out your vitamins, patting your knee when you are sitting and talking together, or even just folding your laundry the way that you prefer it to be done. Things such as these are often taken for granted, but the woman who is no longer loving you will not do them because these are things that show that she cares about you in many different ways.

*Her body language can be read for proof of her love for you, as well. When you are talking together, does she cross her legs in your direction or lean in towards you? This is a sign that feels a heart connection with you.

*A woman who still comes to bed with you, or at least snuggles into you once you are there together is one who loves you. She is still seeking that feeling of security that she finds only in your arms. At the end of the day, she is trying to reconnect in this way because that connection is important to her.

*She is caring for your children, if applicable, in the ways that you both agree are best. She is not taking on the task alone, but is still talking to you about what is going on with them and making sure that parenting is done together. She is keeping the family ties tight and you are a part of them to her because she loves you and wants to live an entire life together.
